The MAGNETOM 7T is designed as an open research platform. 7T MRI provides anatomical detail at the submillimiter scale, enhanced contrast mechanisms, outstanding spectroscopy performance, ultra-high resolution functional imaging (fMRI), multinuclear whole-body MRI and functional information.
This ultra high field (UHF) MRI device is a research system and not cleared, approved or licensed in any jurisdiction for patient examinations.

Magnetic shielding through the use of high permeability material. The iron provides a return path for the stray field lines of magnetic flux and so significantly decreases the flux away from the magnet.
Passive shielding (see also Faraday cage) significantly eases the problems of siting a MR imager in a confined space. Ferromagnetic objects are less prone to being attracted to the magnet, ancillary electronic equipment, credit cards and computer disks can be brought closer to the magnet and the MRI safety limit for pacemaker wearers (the 5 gauss line = 0.5 mT) is reduced from, typically, 10 m to 2 m from the magnet. A passive shield for a whole-body MRI magnet weights many tons. An alternative method of controlling stray field is active shielding.
